Praise for Izzy and friends:
""Butchart has enviable comic timing and a shrewd understanding of how primary-aged children think, speak and speculate. Punchy short chapters, genuinely laugh-out-loud humour and Flintham’s zany pictures make the series an absolute must."" – The Bookseller
""Good jokes and lots of fun, and especially good for reluctant readers."" – Sunday Times
Reviews
It felt shorter than some of the Izzy and friends books and felt I knew what was going to happen. It was still good and I enjoyed reading it.

The book was funny and the ending was unexpected. The book might be a bit scary for children under 4 year old.

My favourite character is Masie. The funniest bit was when Zach went out in the snow to find Masie with his friends. He was pretending to be wearing skies but he fell over in the snow face first and all of his friends fell down with him

The story is really funny. I read the book really quickly as it a cool mystery and I wanted to find out what happened next. I would recommend this story.

I love this book because Pamela always has been imaginative in her books and it always makes me hooked i to read it until the end. I like Maisie best because she always faints but she gets brave in some of the book/s like th phantom lollipop man.

It was a really funny story because it was about kids thinking that a yeti was in the playground but it wasn’t really a yeti.I would recommend it to anyone who likes scary stories.

I really enjoyed this book, especially as a joyful read at night. I think these series of books are particularly special as they are mysterious (which I love) but also absolutely HILARIOUS! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with a good sense of humour - even adults!

It was exciting to read and masie’s mum was way too overprotective. I did not like the office ladies because they were very mean.
